The room had an unusual odor.

The staff was very kind and collaborative. The location is great and just an 8-minute walk from the metro station

It was a bit small for my concept of a hostel. Stuff were helpful but sometimes I had a feeling that I am in someone’s house and there are a bit too many rules. Anyway, nothing negative. I would love to return. I would suggest you to have an ironing board available for use.

Location, access to Metro and Grocery store

Stairs a little hard, but historic.

The staff were helpful & attentive.

I'm not a fan of American food as a whole so when breakfast is mentioned it's basically waffles with honey and coffee. There's no fruit, eggs, bacon etc. It's just waffles (but I love waffles so it was ok)

I had to make a last minute reservation, I arrived to check in after midnight and luckily everything went well. There was a last minute change because the room I was supposed to stay in ended up being taken but the staff promptly gave me a better alternative (probably different from what may appear as my booking here). The room was great, clean, spacious and the air conditioning was just right.

Baths

It was cool, a good and quick stay

Stayed in September 2024

The freezer wasn't working so my frozen items, like ice cream, melted. I am sure it will be fixed for the next visitors. I would have preferred the lower bed of the bunkbed. The bunkbed was difficult to climb--just a standard bunkbed. One of the showers of the 2 showers available to men wasn't working. I only experienced a slight delay in taking a shower. So a protein, like eggs, for breakfast would have been nice.

The value was great. The facilities were clean. The common area was a great place to visit with other travelers--better than staying by yourself. The other occupants were amiable and respectful. Breakfast was basic--pancakes and lemonade--but good and sufficient. Trader Joe's was close and the pantry and refrigerator was great to getting my own food for meals that I ate there.

The gents bathrooms are all the way on ground floor so if u stay on 2nd floor u have to walk down and u will go through the living room that cld have other people. The check in gentleman on 16th was very unwelcoming. For me coming to DC for first time he scared me to be honest. First thing was bring ur passport ( through sm pegion hole). Then almost shouts to my friend who was helping with my bags that he cant come in, then orderin me to remove shoes. It felt like am walking into some cult meeting. The gent shld improve in his customer handling skills and even his appearance. He scared me. The ladies were very pleasant and made me feel comfortable.

The location is right in DC. Near all the attractions you wld want to visit. The premise is perfect for a solo backpack kind of traveller or a group of 4. Facilities are well thought out. Pancake for breakfast is a good addition.

Great location and ease of transportation

I didn't like the pods weren't temperature controlled, sometimes I would get a bit stuffy.

It was a great stay. The beds were clean, and bathrooms exceeded my expectation on cleanliness. I loved the fact I took a shower at 10pm and the water was still hot. And the pods were very comfy.

This was a continuation from another booking on which I reported favourably. The extension allowed me to get to know the staff better and to engage in interesting conversations with a number of other guests, both from the US and elsewhere. This is one of the advantages of accommodation like this - yes, cramped, but it brings people together.

Clean, friendly, great location, international guests

Hooks in the women's bathroom were too high up

A bit cramped but acceptable for budget-priced, capital-city accommodation

Good to get a start to the day with free pancakes and coffee. Very convenient for central-Washington attractions.

The bathrooms attached to the living room are a little awkward. My bed was squeaky, but I slept fine.

This was my second visit to DC, and I went straight to Duo Nomad again. That should speak volumes. The staff are the best you'll find. There is almost a family vibe in this place. The included breakfast and coffee started my every morning with a kick. The National Mall is a pleasant stroll away.

Uncomfortable beds

Nice atmosphere

It was small tight spaces had to navigate --high narrow stairs had to climb. Top bunk was difficult for me to negotiate up and down.

Duo is a well maintained, cozy. Location was good, close to Metro.
